Will it mean that some day we'll be able to have replacement organs grown - for a price?

There's no stopping human curiosity and inventiveness, which is cool. Although somehow I feel there might be a point where we shouldn't push too far.
It's kind of like playing with life itself would transform us into a different type of cyber-human-being.

Anyway, for now it's only the mice that are suffering, so unless you're a PETA person, they're just vermin.

K dude, I lost respect for you here. How insensitive, mice are pretty smart creatures.

Would you rather they tested it on humans, i just lost respect for you.

The mice are bred for the sole purpose of being experimented on, whether they are entitled to or capable of realising what 'quality of life' is, is
debatable, however it is still pretty safe to assume that they do not have much quality, they are simply blessed with a limited frame of reference to
compare that experience to. Their whole life is to serve to prolong human life as a live growth medium. No one would say that they would rather
these experiments are conducted on humans, that does not make it right to use 'dumb animals'.

I've been reading about organs being grown in labs for the past 5 years but I dont see this in people ever!!!!! Dentists will lose billions if they
implement this, so it has no shot for now

Why would you think this?

Who do you think is going to make money off of this procedure? DENTISTS YOU SILLY NILLY!

two lines

yup, just gotta buy one of those cheap meds they sell and enjoy your extra body parts

@ OP, what is the point of this thread? It was on Sci&tech, so I assumed the thread would be of scientific character, but instead, I find a person
complaining about science going to far. What proof do you have that these mice are suffering? How is a tooth growing bacteria making us
cyber-human?

Or did you only want to discuss about the future of humankind given these achivements? If so, very poor choice of words in your follow up post.
